Tory Burch Likes My Ad!

A week or so ago I posted here about entering into the Tory Burch design contest. While I didn't win, Tory Burch just posted pictures of the judging, and my design is right there with all of the winners!  I have to admit that it is pretty neat to see Tory Burch personally judging my submission (even if I didn't win):



Here is my submission -- you can spot it above in the upper-left hand corner:

So I was playing around the other day, and while I, personally, am not daring enough to even remotely attempt the look above, save maybe on Halloween, there are a lot of people out there who are much more daring than I am.  So this look is for you...or for the rest of us who think one day we might have the courage to accessorize dangerously!

Here are some advertisements I played around with for the Michael Kors Holiday 2010 collection. Something is missing from them, though...I probably should have gone a bit more festive....maybe added a bit more pizazz?
